These spreads have been on the Studio Calico website for a few weeks, so you may have already seen them. In fact, I'm busy making spreads using the Studio Calico October kits as I speak! So it's probably about time to post these here on my blog!!! But the good news is, the kits I used are still available for purchase - that might be a first in Studio Calico history! I'll link the kits I used in my post where you can purchase them. Click on the images to get a better look at them or visit my gallery at Studio Calico to see many close up images of each spread.

My name is Suzy Plantamura. I live in sunny Orange County, California by the beach. I have three kids, one grand baby, and two dogs. I draw watercolor cards and design stamps for Simon Says Stamp. I have a blog series called "one stamp, five ways" that I post to two times a week. I want to motivate and inspire others to use their stamp sets more and learn new techniques. I love designing products and making cards to share with others!

Confessions and Commitments (and the SC December Daily KIT)
I am here to make a few confessions and a few commitments. But let's start with this lovely image of the Studio Calico December Daily kit: It is up for preorder now and will be shipping at the beginning of October. It is $99.95 to order, but you pay $25 up front and the rest once it ships. I'll add some more tempting images of this gorgeous kit throughout this post. You can see a list of all the "ingredients" at the PREORDER PAGE. Confession 1: I have never made a December Daily mini album. I've made several mini albums about the Christmas season for class kits, but they were done after the fact, not during the month of December... Read more →
